Can you give me a bit more - where did you come across the term, context ...?

It'll be 'an historian' I think. Some people use 'an' with the word rather than 'a'.

Does this have anything to do with the origin with the word? I mean that in old or maybe in the middle English words starting with h used to be breceeded by "an" as the h was silant... and treated as a vowel!!!
